Not sure i am convinced because how do you explain the verse an eye
for an eye in the old testament there have always been consequences
for wrong doing and stiill are
for sin.If we believe the word then that word is from God not satan.As far as satan is concerned he uses violence as his tools of trade he works on our fears and is limited to robbing stealing and destroying he does nt have anything else.Violence confirms to us that there is a spiritual battle going on both on the earthly plane and in the heavenlys and the battle is
over souls.The verse the kingdon of heaven is expanding and violent people
take it by force is referring to that spiritual battle and as satan uses violence to expand his dominion so does God use violence to counter him.So what does he mean by that term
for me i think it is saying that the the force of evil that satan uses or violence is overcome by a greater violence or force a more powerful one that being the Love of Christ.Through the cross we see that clearly portrayed and in our
lives that very same battle is still happening right now
for dominion be clear if we walk in the flkesh satan will have dominion
over us but if we walk according to the spirit and abide in Christ we have freedom from our old nature.and satan.He can oppose us but he wont be able to influence us if we are in Christ.
Geraldine here we see satans tactics to gain control
over our
lives and he uses pride as a means to control us if our hearts arent submitted to God we get lured into sin or our need
for success or to please others or impress others of our worth.Being born again means to have our new identity in Christ we turn away from our old nature and
take on his nature or identity.In the process we are redeemed through the blood of Jesus and our
lives are transformed so we become as he is.
